🎬 From Scan to Specimen:
Right Antrochoanal Polyp Excision
Ever wonder how a single benign mass can completely block a patient’s nasal airway?
This case highlights a classic right Antrochoanal Polyp (ACP), tracking its journey from the maxillary sinus out into the choana.
What you're looking at:
🔍 CT Imaging:
Clear visualization of the polyp originating within the right maxillary sinus cavity and expanding through the accessory ostium.
✂️ The Retrieval: Endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) to meticulously locate the pedicle, ensure complete removal from its origin point, and avoid recurrence.
📦 The Specimen: The fully intact, dumbbell-shaped polyp post-retrieval.
Restoring complete nasal patency is always incredibly satisfying.
